If the data set is extended to the entire Holocene, the data inverts, and there is no evidence that the earth is in a period of alarming warming. To the contrary, the warming appears to be nothing more than a rebound from the third/fourth coldest period during the Holocene.

The data is the last 4,000 years temperature, Central Greenland, and the red at the end is with the HadCRUT modern thermometer data appended. The last 4,000 years the Earth has been cooling from the higher temperatures between 8,000 years, and 4,000 before the year 2,000. Also, remember that the last 15 years there has been no warming in the thermometer, or satellite temperature record.

This record shows the profound cooling which has occurred over the past 3,400 years. This cooling resulted in two of the four cold periods during the Holocene, and the modern cooling period, which began in 1,000 and ran to 100 years ago, was the longest by a great margin.

​For greater clarity I have included the above graph extending back about 10,000 years. Note, the 8,200 event was the coldest in the Holocene, but the little Ice Age was not much warmer, and it was far longer in duration.

​The game played by the CAGW fear mongers is to truncate the data set to only include the period 1850 to present, and then scream, and rant as if this is an indicator of catastrophe. It is not, it is little more than a rewarming towards the Holocene mean.

They colluded to keep us from knowing what they were doing, so they could act to restrict our rights. This is the real meaning of Star Chamber, a secret legal administrative cabal which slowly eliminates Human Rights.

This would account for the lying, well, at least after the stroke. I still cannot believe that anyone would vote for a woman so uncannily out of touch with reality, so quick to prevaricate, and so corrupt as to sell her influence to the highest bidder regardless of national origin.

Don't dress up police officer men, like the SAS and think anyone will be fooled. I updated the lede because I felt the original was inappropriate.

Those aren't police officers, those are SAS wanna be's.

This is a police officer.

​This is the SAS.

Houston we have a problem, that problem is the militarization of police forces. In America, crime, especially violent crime has dropped to levels approximately similar to the early 1960s, the exact time when the Andy Griffith Show was filmed. Yet our police look more like the cabbage head on the right than Barney Fife. Why?

Bill Whittle makes a fine point.

We need to stop the madness, de-escalate the militarization of the police, and return to more professional looking policing uniforms. We don't need tactical vest, or paramilitary looking uniforms, we need simple, straightforward police uniforms.

University has become the new church housing the new modern, unreformed secular religions. It no longer uses inquiry as a modality of learning, and, instead, uses indoctrination. The result is a generation of highly intelligent, highly credentialed fools. Perhaps, in America, it is time to begin using the First Amendment to the Constitution to fight this imposition of a new state religion. Regardless, it is past time to aggressively fight back.

Oh, wait, that was a Friday news dump, so it was designed to hide the ball. The ball Emanuel is hiding is the fact that the city is not making necessary pension contributions today, but is deferring them to the future, long after Emanuel will be gone. This is another story of the Boomers simply acting fiscally irresponsible, and forcing the Millennials to pick up massive payments in the future.

So what does that generational fraud look like? This:

The city will never catch up to these payment problems with this approach. It must get ahead of the problem, and contribute the necessary amounts to fund these pensions today, not long in the future. Millennials will rightly see this as an attempt to allow Boomers to live high on the hog today, press the city's current bills into the Millennials future, expect the Millennials to accept these payments, and accept the fact that they will never have the rich benefits enjoyed by the Boomers.

When this finally explodes, it will hurt many Boomers. I suggest making sure your retirement savings are sufficient regardless of undependable external benefits like pensions, and Social Security benefits. Fair warning.
